Baskerville 2 colors

  • Unknown's avatar

    Baskerville 2 does not have a good range of default colours palettes. None suits my purpose so I have been changing colours using CSS. I have found the right syntax for about half of them so far by scouring endless sites. Is there an easier way?

    Is there a list of ALL items in the theme so that I can work through them all adding my color code in CSS? Frankly I have no idea what certain coloured features on the screen are called so I cannot run a search for them.

    Alternatively, is there a way of using CSS to add a complete new colour palette?

    Hi @cmkentau

    If you want to find what the names/classes of each element you want to change are, you can use devtools in, for example Google Chrome. You would have to open your website in Chrome and right-click and then choose “inspect”. From there you can select the element in the page and find out what their corresponding name is. You can then change the colour of the element using custom css section under “customize”. More info here:

    In regards to an easier way to do this, as far as I know, there isn’t one, the css is created by the authors of the theme you are using. If you would be self-hosting your website you could achieve this by creating your own style.css file and then upload it to your website. Which on WordPress.com is not possible.

    Hope this is enough info to help you with color changes. Good luck!
